Ticket. Macron, (on) alert in Brégançon

He's like Baloo the bear in The Jungle Book . It doesn't take much for Emmanuel Macron to be happy on vacation. Give him the azure sky, the sea, a jet ski, an electric surfboard, a cordon bleu on the plancha... Watching him splash around every summer in Brégançon , you end up getting used to it. The celebrity press finds him handsome in his rest. It never spares its all-too-normal predecessor from taking the train to go to the sun or Tulle, even if it's eco-friendly. By contrast, Super Macron, with his bulging abs, amazes the gallery of influencers who sneer at him. Are they just a compass for public opinion? At the Élysée, official communication talks about discreet vacations. No more large tables in restaurants on the coast. It's true, apart from a short break to Ramatuelle to applaud Dany Boon , our president hardly abused crowd baths that could turn into concerts of whistles.

And then, the Ukrainian issue gives him holiday homework. At the White House on Monday, with the European delegation, trying to weigh in on the game monopolized by Russians and Americans, we can bet that Macron had more than his tan to offer for Zelensky to overcome the dilemma he is being presented with: cede territory in exchange for security. And at home, does he fear the rising tide of the "Block Everything" movement, a priori partisan, which promises chaos on September 10 in reaction to the Bayrou plan? A threat of revolt in the style of the Yellow Vests 2.0, very "bottom-up" as they say in Macronie to describe one of these nebulous groups coming from below, faceless and powered by social networks. That was without counting on Jean-Luc Mélenchon , who this Sunday emerged from his torpor to support, or undermine, the initiative, for the moment widely disseminated by far-right relays. This time, after the announcement of the rebel who smells good of recovery, the holidaymaker Macron could dive back into the big blue.
